[Joseph A. McCartin @JosephMcCartin]

We're so happy for our @GeorgetownKILWP alum @nwertsch and his colleagues and members of Worker Defense Project in Houston, TX, for their success in winning a $15 wage for Harris County construction laborers.

May Day- May 1st- started with and celebrates the hard fight in the US to win the 8 hour day.

Due to this, it's an official holiday celebrated by workers in almost every country except the US and symbolizes working class solidarity across borders.

It's the actual labor day.

Donate to this fund to support workers whose wages have been stolen by a shitty employer in the Georgetown area, if you are able to!!

[Sanctuary DMV @SanctuaryDMV]

Is DC a sanctuary city? NO! This @wcp article shows how the DC Jail actively cooperates with ICE to take immigrants away from their families and community: https://t.co/D6D29eyKv4

[@georgetownkilwp.bsky.social @GeorgetownKILWP]

#BREAKING: @WCP reports that since 2016 the DC Jail has voluntarily transferred 43 individuals to ICE.

The DC Jail also gives ICE a heads up when inmates are being released, allowing ICE to detain even more people directly outside the jail. #ICEoutofDC

.@JoeBiden was asked again at the Iowa State Fair if he thinks Trump is a white supremacist, he responded: "Why are you so hooked on that? You want me to say the words so I sound like everybody else. I’m not everybody else. I’m Joe Biden. I’ve always been who I am...

See y’all there 🤪

[SASI - Students Against Social Injustices @USASI121]

Three SASI representatives are otw to Washington DC for the 2019 @USAS Summer Convention 😀 Time to bring some RADICAL, ORGANIZING knowledge back to campus!

[Dee @AraLovein]

@Georgetown what kind of message are we sending to current and prospective students when we accept this type of behavior in our community? The Community Scholars Program is one of great integrity, and it saddens me to say that members of our community already do not feel welcome

[Dee @AraLovein]

PLS READ: I am beyond disgusted by the blatant classism and bigotry that this incoming Georgetown student, Jacob Livesay, is so comfortable with putting on display. Coming from a place of humor or not, his words carry an impact among scholars of all years, including myself.

[Erik Loomis @ErikLoomis]

This Day in Labor History: August 3, 1981. The Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) goes on strike in the single greatest disaster in American labor history after Reagan fires them all. Let's talk about this horror show.

[Ebubedike - Rizz and Swag @ArmsteadVan]

Real talk. As someone who been in Bargaining sessions for several contracts now, a lot of money, that would be pushed for wages, ends up being allocated, making the employers pay healthcare. #M4A would mean that this could actually go to wages and other benefits.

Thank you @KimKardashian for coming to speak to the Georgetown Prison Scholars Program at the DC Jail yesterday! You are a true criminal justice warrior. Your passion and compassion inspire the world to see the humanity of the incarcerated. @DCCorrections @oxygen #CJreform
